"Forever Young" [ft. Diplo]

Best New Track

By Jay Balfour

Quality Control / Capitol

May 31, 2017

Lil Yachty was 12 when Jay Z released his late-career blunder “Young Forever,” which was less a soundtrack for abandon than it was trite muzak for yachts and wine spritzers. Since then, hip-hop’s curmudgeonly old guard has framed Yachty as an iconoclast for his apparent disregard of guys like Jay Z, an emcee Yachty has actually publicly revered in interviews , but whose musical relevance exists largely in another lifetime than his own. Jay, after all, wasn’t speaking to high-school crowds in 2009—but in 2017, Yachty is.

Yachty’s “Forever Young,” the Diplo -produced track culled from his messy debut , calcifies what one crowd has latched onto and another has rejected in his music: that he sounds like a happy kid. On its face, “Forever Young” might have spelled disaster, a collaboration that forces Yachty’s innocence through industry machinations to produce a summer hit. Instead of calculated, thought, it sounds smooth around the edges, and the track is one of Yachty’s most streamlined performances to date, the most obvious hit in his catalog.

Diplo’s production is an aggregate of his well-branded summeriness. The synths are pristine and upstroked; the drums tick, thump, and roll predictably; tasteful EDM effects echo and surge. Yachty slips into his own familiar, fizzy pop stance, skipping to the beat in sing-song verses and belting out a soaring earworm hook in a slight Auto-Tune. He never says much, but there’s a grinning, self-confident mushiness that he deploys to win you over while being silly. “If I break your heart/Then I’m a dumb dude,” he raps to a love interest who has a bunch of protective brothers. And when he stammers out, “Together, we forever young” on the hook, it sounds like an upbeat pinky promise.

Lil Yachty Is "Forever Young" in New Video for Diplo Collab

The video is directed by Alex Lill, who previously brought us videos from Nav and Joey Badass.

View this video on YouTube

Lil Yachty dropped the new video for "Forever Young" Friday, and it’s full of exactly the sort of visuals the song demands.

The video for the Diplo-featuring Teenage Emotions single is directed by Alex Lill, whose previous work includes videos for Nav and Joey Badass. Yachty is credited as the video's creative director.

There's nothing worse than someone writing an entire paragraph detailing what happens in a music video that would only take the reader mere minutes to watch themselves, so I'm not going to do that. Just watch the video.

"Forever Young" marks the second Yachty video this week. On Wednesday, Macklemore shared his video for the Yachty-featuring "Marmalade." The video sees kid versions of Macklemore and Yachty driving around and generally just enjoying life. Goddammit. I just wrote a sentence about what happens in a music video. At any rate, here's the video:

Yachty's Teenage Tour kicks off next week at the Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas before taking the Yachty experience through Florida, New York, Nevada, California, and damn near every state in between. Check the full list of dates below:

"[ Teenage Emotions ] caters to a teenager's everyday lifestyle—heartbreak, happiness, that vibe when you waking up in the morning getting dressed and you just wanna dance," Yachty once said of the vibes on his debut album. With his new "Forever Young" video, Yachty is keeping that lifestyle at the forefront of his art.

"Forever Young" lyrics

• Lil Yachty Lyrics

Lil Yachty's "Forever Young" Is Low-Key An Incredible Love Song

It feels like Lil Yachty rose to fame practically overnight. With countless endorsement deals, hot collaborations, and becoming a staple in the Teen Choice Awards, I would say he's here to stay. His songs are usually upbeat and brimming with positivity, but there's one song I found very surprising. His music is amazing, but  Lil Yachty's "Forever Young" lyrics are low-key the most romantic thing I've ever heard.

But we could be together forever But we could be together forever and ever I wanna live life with you forever and ever Together Forever young Forever young We forever young

That's just the chorus... there's more . The whole song is about being young and in love — a perfect song for the summer.

Your love is like a high to me I love to go out my way to make sure you stay happy We forever young

Like, that's super sweet and thoughtful. Even the music video is romantic AF. It features Lil Yachty out with a girl at an amusement park. They go on rides and show light PDA — some good, clean fun.

Honestly, this my love ballad (not really a ballad) of 2017.

All night I've been watching you So tonight, you're leaving with me I've been waiting my whole life to give you it all It's on now, it's on now I'm talking the big fancy lights The star studded nights with me We forever young

Lil Yachty is known for always being himself . From his lyrics to the products he endorses, he never tries to be anything he's not. Last year, during an interview with the New York Times , he explained how he is more than a rapper — he's his own brand.

Rappers don't have endorsements because of their images. Endorsement money is huge. And I care about my character. I don't rap about drinking or smoking, ever, because I don't do it. I don't rap about anything I don't do.

So, I guess this means Lil Yachty does get super romantic with the ladies. Ayyy. If you're now obsessed and want more, you can catch Lil Yachty opening the Teen Choice Awards with KYLE and Rita Ora on August 13 at 8 p.m. ET. I'm not sure what they have planned yet, but it already sounds amazing.

“Music is ultimately about connection. I’m inspired by Splash’s vision to make music fun and accessible to anyone, and the momentum they’ve built within Roblox, using AI to power music experiences for over 400M players,” said Chan. “Across my career, I’ve seen that the best way to help artists make a sustainable living is by engaging and co-creating with fans. Bringing that strategy together with Splash’s talent, tech and audience is an unbelievably exciting opportunity.”

It is my goal and dream to see our culture be appreciated on mainstream platforms and resonate with global audiences in the same way that Latin music, K-pop and Afrobeat have found audiences outside their native culture.

‘Total Disgrace’: Anger, Frustration as Mass Heating Failures Across Russia Leave Thousands in the Cold

P ODOLSK, Moscow region – Residents throughout Russia affected by unprecedented winter heating outages in recent days have expressed their frustration and urged local authorities to restore heating in their homes.

In Podolsk, a town some 30 kilometers south of the capital Moscow, at least 149,000 residents — nearly half of its population — were left without heating when a heating main burst at a nearby private ammunition plant.

“It’s a total disgrace. There is no heating and no hot water. We have to sleep in sleeping bags,” Yuri, a local resident, told The Moscow Times.

“I have no words to describe how bad the situation is," said Yuri, who declined to provide his surname. "We have had no heating for almost six days."

Heating issues have affected residents in the Moscow region, where temperatures have plunged to as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius in the past week, as well as people in the Far East Primorye region , the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg , Penza , the southern Voronezh and Volgograd regions and more.

In the Tver region, a group of residents filmed an appeal to President Vladimir Putin, saying that they “are freezing from the cold” in the village of Novozavidovsky.

“We're literally being killed by the cold,” a woman in the video said, adding that they have been sending requests to local authorities since September after their houses were connected to a boiler room whose power was reportedly insufficient.

“This is some kind of torture and extermination of the population 100 kilometers from Moscow,” she added.

Residents of the Moscow region town of Elektrostal lit a fire in the street to draw the authorities’ attention to the heating problem.

“It’s impossible to stay in our houses. We're freezing!” a group of women in the video said.

Suffering from subzero temperatures, residents are placing the blame on local authorities and utility services for failing to take necessary precautions and not taking action to resolve the situation.

“We are sending complaints everywhere but no one listens to us. We have portable heaters working in every room, but the temperature inside is still 10 degrees Celsius,” Yelena from Podolsk said.

“There is a clinic and a hospital, as well as kindergartens, where there is no heating. And we have no answers, no assistance, no explanation,” Yelena added.

Podolsk authorities opened temporary heating centers and declared a state of emergency.

Local authorities linked the heating problems to the fact that the town is heated by a boiler plant owned by the Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant, a private ammunition factory and one of the largest weapon cartridge production enterprises in the country.

“The facility is under tight security conditions, which limits our ability to oversee winter preparations,” the Moscow region’s Vice Governor Yevgeny Khromushin said last week. “We were unaware of the problem for nearly a day.”

An unidentified Moscow region official and two senior executives at the plant were arrested on suspicion of providing unsafe services, Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said in a statement Tuesday.

Investigators said that Podolsk’s deputy mayor was accused of misusing authority by issuing a readiness certificate for the boiler house at the plant.

In the neighboring Tver region, the authorities opened a criminal case over the laundering of over 84 million rubles ($938,993) in heating bills paid by residents, the Astra Telegram channel reported this week, citing unidentified sources. According to investigators, the heads of the local water intake and boiler house misappropriated the heating payments for personal use.

Reacting to the heating failures, Putin on Tuesday asked Emergency Situations Minister Alexander Kurenkov to provide heat and electricity to the affected residents.

The outages appear to be the latest effect of several decades of crumbling infrastructure in Russia which have been linked to endemic corruption and mismanagement.

The overall decay of Russia's municipal infrastructure surpassed 70% in 2022, the pro-Kremlin newspaper Izvestia reported .

According to Sergei Pakhomov, head of the State Duma’s Construction, Housing and Utilities Committee, water pipes that were 90 years old or even older were still in use as recently as two years ago in some cases.

Housing, utilities and communal services are a common source of problems for Russians during the winter.

In St. Petersburg, residents regularly complain about extensive ice coverage on city streets and sidewalks, with many people ending up in the hospital over the years due to slipping and falling accidents.

In the Siberian republic of Khakassia, two villages were left without electricity last month due to apparent issues with outdated communication systems.

In the winter of 2020, five people in the Perm region were killed after a pipe burst.

When asked about the latest heating outages, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov acknowledged the problems and linked them to poor municipal infrastructure, saying that people “had to endure a lot of inconvenience in the cold and without electricity.”

"Despite all the titanic efforts to update all housing and communal services systems, there's still a certain part that remains considerably deteriorated. These programs will continue, but it is impossible to update all pipes and all housing and communal services systems in 10-15 years,” Peskov said.

As for now, residents affected by heating issues appear to lack optimism that the problems will be solved efficiently.

"It's been a week since we've had heating, and the temperature in my apartment is around 11 degrees Celsius,” Podolsk resident Lidiya told The Moscow Times.

“Unfortunately, no one knows when it will be repaired,” she added.
